Lois
Romy
Piper

Weirdly I don't think of Lois as an 'old' name, but aren't old names in anyway?! Maybe due a comeback...?!

And I now have 1 week to go and still very stuck :(. I posted about Ava as well, which I love but just worried it's a bit predictable/boring

Love Romy

How about Roma, Rosemary or Romina, with Romy as nickname?

DH doesn't like any of the longer versions so it would have to be Romy if anything.

I think we're now down to the following list...

Lois
Romy
Ava
Ayla (ay-la, not Isla)

Lily would be the middle name as it's a family name I'd like to use (but not with Lois as too many L's!)

Ava Lily is gorgeous.

If you're set on Lily as the middle name it goes best with Ava. I don't think it works with the others.

NutMeghan · 18/04/2019 01:47

Ava Lily. But it's a little dull. The others don't go with Lily as a middle name.

Why not just Lily as a first name?

Tavannach · 18/04/2019 02:02

Piper

SparkleGem · 18/04/2019 02:04

I've never heard of romy but kinda like it! I do like Roma though. Not a fan of piper and lois is ok! Good luck!

@NutMeghan I don't think we can use Lily as a first name as we have a Lila and it's probably too similar. In fact Ayla is probably too similar too so guessing I might have to scrap that one too :(
I do really like Ava Lily and agree it goes the best, however I just feel it's so 'predictable'/boring?!

Ada rather than Ava?

chocolatelog · 18/04/2019 11:18

Lois

StayingWithAuntySue · 18/04/2019 11:55

Piper Lily is a beautiful name

Flamingosnbears · 18/04/2019 12:42

Lois or Piper not keen on Romy doesn't sound complete do you like Blaire?...

BlueMerchant · 18/04/2019 12:46

Lois is by far the nicest.
Ayla is ok.
I don't like Romy.
Piper is horrible.
Ava too 'common'

Zoeputthatdown · 18/04/2019 12:49

Romy first - maybe Romy Ava?
Also like Lois and Piper. What great choices.

@Bloocy I feel like I should like Ada but I find it less feminine for some reason

I think Lois Ava or Lois Ayla could work, probably swaying towards either of those at the moment. So hard to make a decision on a name for a third girl!
